In the following passage, what best describes the way Ana is characterized?

Ana put her book aside at Nier's request. She knew better than to do otherwise, as Nier was always persistent. He was sure to annoy her into reading the same paragraph half a dozen times if she bothered to ignore his entreaties for attention. He was quite the handful, but for the love of her brother, Ana played along.
"There now, that's a sport," Nier smiled as the book touched the table. "Ana, I must ask you for one additional favor. Could you pick a card?"
He spread a deck of cards before her with a magician's flourish. Her lips tightened, concealing whatever opinion they might have pronounced had there been any point in pronouncing it. She chose a card from the middle of the deck.

The best description of the way Ana is characterized in the passage is:

**Indirect characterization shows that Ana is being patient out of love for her brother.**

This is supported by her decision to put her book aside at Nier's request and her acknowledgment that he is persistent, which indicates her understanding of his nature. Her willingness to play along, despite her irritation, suggests that her actions are motivated by affection for her brother.
